Hail Biafra!

What makes you think that? I thought West Africans specifically Nigeria and Ghana we’re doing really good?

A couple of things:
1) Nigeria is hurtling towards the "road to Kinshasa" Let's Talk Afro-Geopolitics II: The Future of the Nigerian State
2) East African countries have an advantage over West Africa due to their proximity to India, China and SE Asia.
3) Ghana will never become a 'great power'. It could become a middle income country in my lifetime. It's development path is strewn with the usual problems including this:
A racing start in spite of the rocky finances | Article | Africa Confidential
4) The population boom in West Africa will undermine states. Especially as escape routes to Europe close up (rise of right-wing politics in that continent).
Yea its over for West Africa.Of course not. West Africa will lose out this century - big time.
East and Southern Africa gonna carry the continent tho in my opinion.

My brother in law gave me the run down. He heavily fukks with this new president. Says his parents and everyone back home are feeling the changes and are happy af that there is a new Oromo president. He said this new president's political game is on tight and even settled the nile dispute with Egypt!
I don't know if he's a puppet for the elites but I am hearing that he is very ambitious and trying to fix things internally and externally. The Horn of Africa needs this imo.
While Abiy is making great changes and this is an amazing time for the Horn, let's not forget about the multiple Human Rights violations that continue to go on. Abiy is EPRDF and has been since the beginning. He is former military and worked a the INSA (ET NSA) so he is really deep in the game. While he is a true reformer and people like Lema, Gedu, and Demeke are all trying to change the country through their respective parties, I doubt TPLF is just gonna chill in the cut and let this happen peaceefully. They been a little too quiet for my liking.

Realistically west Africa can be great if Nigeria is great, sadly that seems like an impossibility. Problem is if we split the country then they will become even easier pickings
If Nigeria was like Ghana it would be a top 10 power

This is where trusting your fellow African becomes critical. Ports are the end-game for East Africa. Industrialization aside, these port disputes, land-grabs, and lack of regulatory bodies makes this difficult, to say the least.
Also y'all need to stop giving up on West Africa.
Thanks for all the links I’ll read them after work. I’m just bummed to hear that. I feel like black Africans just need at least one stable black economic power that can trade and bolster other black African economies. Obviously I can imagine with the whole migrant crisis things are gonna get tense in West Africa.
The horn needs to get it's shyt together
